What's the question?
GadgetGirl's reference to CM? CM *is* Component Manager.
But may I suggest you install and use Stardock Central. Althouhg it's still in beta, it's still much better than Component Manager.

Hi Again Paxx, I was reading the thing at Stardock, and it sounds like I have to download CM after downloading OD....but now you say to use Stardock Central, is that included with OD?

What are you downloading now?
OD is not something you download. It's just the name of the overall group of products that include Windowblinds, Desktop X, etc.
Component Manager is probably what you are downloading now. Continue downloading it and install it. When it's done installing, open it, and you'll see a bunch of applications. Among that you should see Stardock Central. Stardock Central is in beta and will eventually be what will replace Component Manager. It's more centralise and better done. For example when a software is updating Stardock Central will only download the parts that need updating instead of downloading the whole application all over again.
Get it?

Thank You....You're a sweetheart, you must really get tired of us newbies... . You said what I was trying to say. It's all a little confusing at first, but I'm sure we'll all wake up one day and go.."Oh..I see"...hopefully.

No no, I don't get tired of it. It's cool.
And I don't even work for Stardock, I'm just a volunteer admin on this site.

If you have CM, go down on bottom left to available components. Click on that, then go to upper right corner and click on alpha releases.You then will see Desktop X 1.93 Download it. Good luck, Princess
